Recorded in Chennai, India between November 2006 and July 2007 this work we owe thanks to Bob Belden for making this project happen. Imagine an Eastern musical interpretation of the genius of Miles Davis which may sound on the surface like something you'd find in the Wal-Mart CD racks but turst me this is pure magic! With contributions from many of Miles' friends.....Ron Carter, Jimmy Cobb, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Lenny White and Pete Cosey to name a number of them. This exquisitely recorded 2 CD set harness the crazy power of Davis while drawing liberally from the instrumentation and raga workings of the East. Equally present are some of India's finest musicians who play in ode to Miles' with the greatest of precision. This not the first time that Miles' music has seen the juxtapositon of Trumpets and tablas...this was achieved on albums like Big Fun and Get Up. Sonically this CD set is amazing sound quality and each instrument is clearly heard with great care in recording. This CD set is a gift from the East !
